One-week Art Residency Retreat stays. These residency/retreats can accommodate up to 4 creatives during any one week period. Included: accommodations with private bedrooms and shared bath in a neighboring cottage within sight and walking distance of The Foggy Bee; prepared family-style dinners nightly; one 4-hour plein air guided experience and unfettered access to the 1100SF studio and grounds (including 90+ acres across the street). This can be a collaborative studio experience - up to 4 creatives may be present in the studio during any of the designated periods. Or it could just be you. A certain type of "buzz" happens when creative spirits share space. It creates its own energy. Light your creative process on fire or release it slowly in this beautiful setting on the water. Whether it's painting, drawing, photography, writing or some other method of making art, you'll find a special energy here that helps make it bee. The building offers sweeping views of the Narragaugus River as it meets the Narragaugus Bay (e.g., open ocean). The entire back side of the building, including the studio, faces the water. The light is amazing with long windows and skylights. You'll have plenty of room to spread out and stay set up (the Studio comfortably seats 14 for classes - LOTS OF ROOM!). It's a magical place to create.
